An 18-year-old man was shot and killed by RCMP officers near St. Laurent, Man., after a Mountie was attacked and had his unmarked police vehicle and gun stolen. The man has been identified as Billy Saunders by his mother, who learned about his death early Wednesday morning. The man inside was located just before 1 a.m. on a highway near Lake Manitoba First Nation, about 100 kilometres north of St. Laurent. During the attempted arrest, the man was shot and pronounced dead on the scene, RCMP said in a news release Wednesday morning. Lake Manitoba Chief Cornell McLean said the man, who was from the neighbouring community of Eriksdale, was arrested after stealing from some video lottery terminals in Lake Manitoba on Saturday.
